PALIN !

Sarah Palin has been a thorn in my side ever since she emerged from her gubernatorial igloo into the middle of a presidential election. She has consistently swiped my strategies ( remember the wink ), my best lines ( "Don't retreat, reload"; yeah, that was my advice to a young Windows user ) and my speaking gigs. She is the candidate-at-large of the moment in the U.S. of A but I thought that she had chosen to do a graceful fade from the spotlight. As it turns out, she pulled a Palin and quit her graceful fade halfway through and announced a full-length feature MOVIE ! Apparently it will be called "The Undefeated", which somehow manages to be somewhat correct  and somewhat incorrect all at once.
